last visit to the Hub. The bill-of-far

read 40 cents"
Say this is wrong!' said he to the
cashier.
"What did you have?"
'Order of beans"
CHATS correct, sir. Forty cents
But the bill-of-fare says twenty
"Well, the bill-ot-fare is wrong"
The Pittsburgher paid 40 cents. Then
ne made memorandum of the restaurant

A few days later he WAS in New York,
and he remembered the beans. Then he
went to the telegraph office and wired the
following message to the restaurant:
Don't you think 40 cents too much
for baked beans?'
He marked it collect

New York World
Not long since, at dinner given in
New York, General Sheridan related ali
incident that befell him while calling on
the young lady who is the present Mrs.
Sherman.
During the war General Sheridan was
too much occupied defending his country
to fall in love. When the malady finally
overlook him in Chicago, after the war,
Sheridan had passed what is generally
called the romantic stage, and was set
Ting down into well seasoned old bach
elorhood. Old bachelors make the most
enthusiastic of lovers, and the general
admitted that he was no exception TO the
rule.
at was a warm summer evening"
Sheridan began, "and upon my arrival at
the house TIE young lady and myself re-
tired to the back parlor. The front
parlOr opened INTO the hall, and as the
night was warm, you know, we did not
thIrk it necessary to light the gas IN the
back room. Now, this young lady's
father had a great fear of burglars. He
had burglar alarms all over the house,
and recently put new alarm on the front
door. Neither the young lady nor myself

and somehow did not hear him. Finally,

Eulogies are frequent this week, and
after the funeral oratory has been en-

New York members were given at night
session on Tuesday all at once. 4 speech

grew eloquent. "Arnot's charities were
boundless. So much was this so that it

this touching incident: "A very old and

Papers have been filed in this city in
an action brought by Gen. Isaac T. Quin-
by, city surveyor of the city of Rochester,
against the New York, Lake Erie and
Western Railroad company, the counter
part of which is probably wanting in the
history of litigation, writes the Rochester
respondent of TIE New York Times.
The complaint states that Gen. Quin by
received an invitation last fall from the
committee in charge of the sxercires at
tending the unwilling of the Bartholdi
statue of Liberty, to be present at that
Jolly good time with ais comrades. The
complaint sets forth in complex legal
praseology that he did not arrive in New
York until the best part of the show was
over. The general alleges that the Erie
advertised that an excursion train would
leave this city at o'clock on the evening
of Oct. ~, preceding the celebration, to
arrive in New York at o'clock the next
morning. He took this train, and short
ly Rfterward his troubles began.
Shortly after leaving Rochester, the
engine attached to the train became dis
abled, so that the train was obliged to pro-
coed slowly. In spite of the, fact that time
was worth more than money to Gen. Quin-
by and some of his fellow-travelers, the
company's officials failed to provide an
other engine, and the train crept along at
a snan's pace. To make q long story
short, the train was long distance from
New York at the hour when 1t was adyer-
tised tol reach the city, and it did not arrive
there until l o'cloch on the afternoon of
the celebration, six hours behind time.
The pageant was over, or nearly so, when
Gen. Quinby stepped out of his railway
carriage. He paid the railway company
to get him to New York, expecting conf
IDENTIFY to get there in time for the cele-
bration, and the general was naturally
very angry at the delay. He did not sue
the company in the heat of passion, how
ever, but waited until short time ago,
when he authorized his attorney to begin
an action in the supreme court setting his
damages $1,000. The attorneys for the
railway company have filed their answer
to the complaint, in which they admit that
the train was late, but deny all allegations
of complainant in regard to injury sus-
tanned. If the case ever comes to trial the
courts will have chance to make some
original rulings.

The Public Funeral Services of Rev. Henry

A New York dispatch of Friday says:
The interior of Plymouth church was early
this morning transformed into perfect
flower garden. The walls, galleries, pull
pit, pastors chair ard organ were Gov
cred with vines and roses: 1t seemed as
though preparation had been made for
wedding instead of for the public funer-
al of the man who had been pastor of the
church for forty years and whose cofined
remains rested on a catafalque in front of
the pulpit. Even the black cloth covering
the coffin was hidden beneath lilies of
the valley, ferns, roses and moss. Before
the time for the exercises to begin had
arrived the church was completely filled,
chiefly with members of the congregation
who were admitted by ticket. Mr..
Beecher's family were not present. On
the left side of the center aisle were the
members of the clerical union, of which
Mr.. Beecher was member for number
of years. Behind these were seated the
officers of the thirteenth Regiment, and
then came the members of the legislative
committee, who wore badges made of
white silk. Behind these were the dele
gates from nearly every social, political
or religious organization in New York and
Brooklyn.
